Congratulations to Portugal and Spain for achieving Net Zero today - Zero emissions, Zero electricity, Zero explanations! ⚡🌎 #NetZero #Blackout

Fuel in Ireland is taxed 3 times: • Excise Duty • Carbon Tax (rising every year) • VAT — charged on top of both That’s tax on tax. If government is serious about fairness: 👉 Remove VAT on fuel. Simple. #CostOfLiving #Ireland

@TrojanMcJohnson @Zero_9873 A lot of truth in ‘keep your friends close and your enemies closer’ — but we cannot continue on the path we’re on. Ireland can make a difference, but only if we stop pretending this is neutrality.

@PPHennessy @Zero_9873 Im sick of Irish people saying we are neutral. We've had US military flights in Shannon for 25 years. The govt. Does not allow Gardaì inspect their planes and jails protesters that do. That's not neutral that's complicit

@__DrAwkward__ @DarraghOBrienTD No issue with Russia. But let’s get our energy security as a priority. We built the Celtic pipeline to France we could build Small Nuclear Plants. UK is doing it too.

@PPHennessy @DarraghOBrienTD Make good friends with Russia (who never did anything to Ireland ever) and gain access to cheap Russian oil and gas? 🤔

Attended an emergency meeting of EU Energy Ministers to address rising energy costs and supply. Strong agreement to work together, accelerate renewables and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Further measures will follow at EU level in the coming weeks ⚡️

@thejournal_ie The WHO will never fully recover its credibility. Too close to global elites, too dismissive of dissent, and too willing to back top-down control over public trust.

A former executive director in the World Health Organisation thinks Ireland shouldn't "play the next pandemic like the last one". Sligo-born Dr Michael J Ryan said "we didn't trust communities enough" to manage their own risk. jrnl.ie/6999368

@rtenews You do not win public trust on climate by frightening people, taxing everything, and ignoring China, energy reality, and working families. Serious policy needs honesty, balance, and results.

Climate change, driven by greenhouse gases, is having measurable impacts in Ireland with growing risks for communities, infrastructure, essential services and the economy, according to a new report from the Climate Change Advisory Council rte.ie/news/ireland/2…

@BillyKelleherEU Ireland’s energy strategy now should be simple: back SMRs, start drilling off our own coast, and stop pretending intermittent green energy can carry the full load on its own. Security first. Cost second. Ideology last.

Ireland based its energy policy on ideology, hypocrisy, ignorance and incompetence over many years. We are completely dependent on others for our energy needs. We are against fracking but need LNG for security. We’re against Nuclear power but import it from UK and are now

@EnochBurke Democracy shamed. Justice disgraced. Ireland’s shame.

BREAKING: Enoch Burke’s mother and sister arrested and jailed Martina and Ammi Burke were arrested by Gardaí today at Castlerea Prison after visiting jailed schoolteacher Enoch Burke, their son and brother. Judge Brian Cregan sentenced them to two weeks in prison after they spoke out against his lies and unlawful actions in the case of Enoch Burke. Martina and Ammi Burke had been teaching in Castlebar this morning before travelling to Castlerea for their scheduled visit at 2.15pm. As they left the prison after concluding the visit, Gardaí were waiting outside to arrest them. Lies have been told from the bench since September 2022 when Enoch Burke was first taken from his teaching post at Wilson’s Hospital School and thrown into a jail cell. He refused to call a student by a new name and the “they” pronoun. He was subsequently suspended and has now spent over 600 days in prison. Ireland’s church leaders have maintained a treacherous silence on this issue. Archbishops Eamon Martin and John McDowell speak frequently about battlefields far away - Gaza, Ukraine, the Middle East - but are silent on the battlefields in the schools of Ireland, on their own doorstep. Children in the classroom are being educated in every form of sexual perversion. Martina and Ammi Burke have now been sent to Mountjoy Women’s Prison because they refused to be silent in the face of gross injustice from the bench. Parents, rise up and speak out for your sons and your daughters.

@antooconnell Ireland’s plastic scheme tracks collection, not results. Bottles are shipped overseas, real recycling barely happens here, and nobody wants to fund the hard part: turning waste into value.

I absolutely hate and despise the deposit return scheme and these type of people make it significantly worse. The sooner this DRS thing ends

Interesting ... Now let's charge Carbon Tax just in case.

WOKE and go BROKE.

@NewstalkFM Reduce tourism and increase immigrants is the Irish Gov Strategy.

Dublin City Council is considering a tourist tax of up to €5 per night per visitor. newstalk.com/news/dublin-ci…

Pharma needs profit ...

@PaulTreyvaud @SenatorKeogan Let's just call it a "Mini Marathon".

Well said @SenatorKeogan Absolutely pathetic by VHI Imagine sending this message to half your client base!! Just identify as a woman. That’s good enough for us. But we’ll also cover you for prostate cancer too!!

@griptmedia Let me help. 9% off VAT 9% Scrap gas carbon tax 11.8% Cancel May carbon tax hike 10% - Direct bill credit (e.g. €250 based on Ave User)

LAURA PERRINS: The sight of Ministers McEntee and Harris standing there insisting that there's nothing they can do about the spike in energy prices is infuriating, given that they have deliberately driven energy prices through the roof with tax: gript.ie/perrins-energy…

@AontuIE At this stage even the veg aisle has undocumented emigrants. 🇮🇪🥦✈️

Broccoli labelled "Irish" - out of season. "Irish Herbs" grown in Kenya & Spain. "Irish Tomatoes" from Spain. #aontú

@RobCarryBray Emergency supports shouldn’t become permanent. Ukraine isn’t one uniform warzone — big areas are functioning. Time for a return strategy: rebuild there, taper supports here, and prioritise voluntary return.

@ClionaConnolly Money with no conditions + no peace roadmap isn’t “support” -it’s strategy-by-standing-order. And why aren’t Ireland/EU leading a peace track alongside the funding? Europe is carrying huge costs, yet acts like a spectator in negotiations. That feels impotent — and avoidable.

Three Irish MEPs voted against this vital support for #Ukraine - Left's Boylan (SF), Flanagan (Ind), Funchion (SF). All other Irish MEPs voted in favour (those present for votes).

@WatchdogTh96012 Thirsty work sitting around - bet the receipts are documented and claimed on expenses.

Meanwhile small family run pub up and down the country are forced into closure through the government’s failure to reduce the extortionate costs of running a business and actively destroying the hospitality sector in Ireland. #SupportYourLocalPub #DailBar #Ireland
